Even if I agreed it was a mistake, I'd have a hard time placing it in the top 500.

What you're looking for is Friendica.
Don't try to screw things together with a hammer.
The the Firefox reader view was all it took for me. Your browser probably has similar.
We aren't talking about They/Them vs she/her.
This is about They/Them vs they/them.
I can see there might be an argument for people to capitalize all pronouns.
Doing it only for 1st and 2nd person pronouns might be my preference. I can see it accentuating a dialog happening between the reader and writer.
But asking everyone to break a grammatical convention, specifically only for you; Giving no justification other than "I like it", seems insufficient.
If I were to tell you to use all caps when referring to ME, would that be reasonable?
What about all lower case, even when starting a sentence?
No. If you want everyone to change a standard grammatical convention specifically for you alone; One that's been in place since the invention of the printing press (that's when we started to capitalize "I"); You need to give more reason than you would for your favorite color.
Of course you and I both, can capitalize any word, however WE Want, for our Own empahAses.
That never uses or explains the use of "My".
It's actually not even explaining anything I imagined. It's explaining, that some people want others to capitalize the pronouns used to refer to them specifically. I was thinking of a grammatical choice to always or never capitalize pronouns uniformly. But changing grammar rules on the whims of the person being written about, seems exceptionally odd. The closest I ever heard of to that, is in the spelling someone's name.
In reality it doesn't explain anything other than to say, some people want it that way. It never goes into actually explaining the logic of that desire. It merely tries to shame people for not doing it if requested.
Ruud is Dutch. FediDB says the server is in the US. So maybe we're talking about two different things.
FediDB says it's located in US.
It's the original instance, run by the main Lemmy creators.
The full range is about 5.5%. So while it is misleading, a 5% drop in a graph that consistent isn't nothing. Something substantial absolutly changed
